IDAE Innovative Renewable Energy Program (Next Generation EU)
Administered by Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE)
About this program
Spain's Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE) administers grants funded by the EU NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan for innovative renewable energy projects, energy storage, and renewable thermal systems. Spain received EUR 660 million in initial NextGenerationEU funding for energy efficiency upgrades. While the original residential self-consumption grant programmes (Programmes 4-6) exhausted their budgets by 2024, IDAE continues to offer funding through the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan for innovative projects. Grants are channelled through the autonomous communities (comunidades autónomas) and may vary by region. Availability depends on remaining budget allocations in each autonomous community.
